Devil's Persistence

By
You're so eager and green.
You grin from ear to ear as your eyes pierce through mine.
You're excitement nearly impossible to contain.
You're child like glee takes ahold of the block of ice resting where my heart once used to be.
But only for a moment and then it okay. Only for a second. Did you catch hold of my attention
A slight smile barely engraved in my face until I realize I'm staring at a demon
Deep within your gaze, lies the spirit of the devil...
Patiently waiting for that window of vulnerability to open itself.
He wants to enter inside...he'll make it seem that it's to nurture and to grow when the truth is he simply wants to destroy you
With a monster thirsty for flesh resting within his britches, he intends to slay you.
He finds satisfaction in the woman too blinded by the phallus to realize when she's under attack.
He walks in appearing like royalty but I've never been attracted to the flash
Draped in jewels that glitter, with a smile that could placed in the sky when the sun expires 
He moves close enough that the scent of cologne and Hennessy fills your nose
Every woman in the room stops to share their admiration for you and disgust towards me
They can sense my lack of desire and they hate me for it
Fully aware of his surroundings, the devil knows everything that takes place around him
Gazes locked on me as her circles around, searching for an opening
But I refuse...unlike the ghosts of lovers past, I refuse...
Unlike spirits of those to come, I will not accept

The Bottom

By
Days have come and gone and yet my heart still feels incomplete. Half there, half missing as I embark on this journey of endurance called life and self discovery. I've managed to stay afloat, to keep my head above water even as the chaotic waves         jerk me              around    violently. Constantly thrown                by the weight of                                off track the pressure I feel to make it. So many times where I want nothing more than to stop swimming... Yes there are times when I want nothing more than to sit it stillness and wait as I see how long for those life altering waves to consume me. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? Will it be success or will it be one disastrous storm after another, destroying everything in its path until there's no longer any hope to lose.

What is born under water?

By
"I was born under water"...I'm actually surprised by the amount of questions I get on this because it is a song lyric, but at the same time I get it. It's not the first thing that pops into your head. Anyway....before I get into the explanation of the the meaning of these lyrics and it's significance to me, I want to take the time to introduce myself which will lead to my point of explaining these lyrics. I am Kennie. I like to go by Kennie because it's easier for people to say for some weird reason. Kennie is short for Akenya...an African name my father insisted I have (very pro black, explains where I get it from). It means artist basically or something like that based on the book he got it from. (Fun fact: it's a man's name. Lol) However doing my own research I haven't been able to find the information from the name book he has. I did find a name that sounded like a variation of my name "Akinyi" and it's of East African or

an excerpt of a poem entitled Thirteen Ways to Watch a Flower

By
In the sun as her beams shine, Sits the flower center stage Basking in all the glory Fresh scent of Mother Earth all around I lay back as if I am apart of nature And inhale the beauty of one flower It sways and rocks to and fro Like the curves of a woman Dancing in the night Listen closely as you hear the bees Buzzing around to find that one flower That will be the one to share her sweet nectar - Akenya Jenné
